| "The cycle swings into each curve
effortlessly, banking so that our weight is always down through the machine
no matter what its angle is with the ground. The way is full of flowers
and surprise views, tight turns one after another so that the whole world
rolls and pirouettes and rises and falls away." - - Robert

Travel Memoirs from Beyond ~ Escape from America Magazine has added
a new column to its online webzine and monthly ezine. Travel memoirs were
never like this. John Torrente has taken them beyond the limits of sanity.
Move over Hunter, fear and loathing was never this good. Sometimes reflective
but always humorous, these travel memoirs will make you wonder "Fact or
Fiction," but they're all True. They may scare the boots off the novice,
but they're sure to bring back vivid memories of many a vagabond youth
and open the doors of everyone's transendental imagination.
Roger
Gallo Reports that he just received an eMail from one of our most popular
writers, Robin Sparks, who has recently been living in Kathmandu.
She says that she has loads of good photos and enough anecdotes to write
a book on Kathmandu alone. We've asked her to write an article for the
next edition of the Zine on Kathmandu and she has agreed. Something to
very much look forward to. Robin was an early EFAM contributor and
her work is sensational. |

life in Macedonia ~ Some Have Found a Way to Live and Even Thrive -

America Magazine. Until recently his stories for EFAM have concentrated
on out-of-the-way travel articles, about pleasant places like the Greek

Six
Months in Bangkok ~ Sights, Sounds, and Smells Overwhelmingly Foreign to
the Western European - Living
in Bangkok - Wonder Russell is living for six months in a country where
anything is possible, from the sublime to the deranged. She predicts it
will change her life. She writes, “The narrow, blackened sidewalks
with their treacherous cracks and crumbles uphold a teeming cultural soup.
Beggars without legs hold a cup over their heads, hands pressed together
in an attitude of humility or prayer. Occasionally, some beach-reddened
Westerners —farang— fumble for loose baht to toss into the cup, but most,
taken unawares by the maimed and ragged half-horror just hurry by.
Six months stretched between West and East, the Pacific and the Indian
oceans, between the heaven of the hotels and spas and the hell of the poverty.
It’s an adventure, and that’s what we live for.”

of Sandy’s discovery of the good health care provided by the Mexican national
health care program, the IMSS. It saved her life. Sandy writes, “Every
single diagnosis and prescribed treatment was right on the mark with what
would have been done in the States. I was able to witness first-hand the
excellent and personal level of care available here and the relatively
minimal costs.” This article has valuable information on health care in

India - April Palmer lives in London attending

India today.

Travelogues - 17 Mar 2002 marked a year on-the-road for John
Torrente, first writing in Spain, then volunteering in Mexico, then traveling
across Central America, then studying photography in Ecuador.
When last he wrote to Escape from America Magazine, it was 3am in the Jacksonville,
Florida, Greyhound Bus Station; he was trying to get back to his destroyed
New York neighborhood to cry a little bit and to recharge his batteries.
His first book is titled, “How To Sell Your Futon, Shelf Your Master’s
Degree, Drop Your Corporate Copywriting Job And Flourish As A Hippy-Freak-Wannabe
Living In Rural Latin American Pueblos So Long As You Don’t Mind Filling
The Toilet Basin With Water Every Time You Go." He’s been advised by concerned
friends and family to visit his organic farmer brother in Oregon for some
R&R.

go shopping, diving, surfing, fishing, or just island hopping. The
extraordinary calm and protected waters of the Archipelago mean that one
can go on the water 365 days a year. No hurricanes or inclement weather,
and an endless archipelago that is an ecological paradise. Find

Netherlands
Castle Dweller ~ Becoming More a Part of the World - Living
in A Castle - The philosopher Pascal once said
that much if not all of what we do in life is done so we can tell others
of our great accomplishment and adventure, rather than for the sheer joy
of the experience itself. I think the stories we tell one another, the
experiences we cherish and share, bring life to relationships and allow
people to learn from one another. One of most appealing and enduring aspects
of travel, particularly travel though a foreign country, is the way it
fills you out as an individual, gives you a broader range of knowledge
and experience on which to build a sense of self and place. This heightened
sense gotten by paying attention to what other people make of life allows
us to augment and alter our views on life here at home in the United States.
